Just started re-listening to the You're Wrong About... episodes on the OJ trial and had to chuckle at sweet young your friend, Dracula talking about people watching the trial at work… in 1995… when there was no internet and few TVs in offices. Workplace distraction was analog! 🤭

You want a new, fun data set for teaching? Here you go. Someone recorded the average/max/change from baseline pulses of folks watching horror movies. They used this data to rate AND rank order the film. My RA added Rotten Tomato ratings and year of release. Analyze away!

Highly recommend. I learned a ton when I watched it. I may rewatch.

🙄 if you’d like to read what this lawsuit was ACTUALLY about, here’s a link. Wild to me that Georgia Republicans are still making crap up like this, rather than agreeing that all citizens, including naturalized ones, SHOULD vote freely.

Okay, so it isn't an eclipse or anything. However, check out this information about my forth-coming psych stats textbook! Y'all. Thank you so much to these reviewers (and ALL of my reviewers) for your kind words.

If you're looking for eclipse glasses right now you understand why same day voter registration is important

Find yourself a leader like Dawn Staley. Career win, full of emotion, mic in her face, national tv. First words out of her mouth? to thank the scout that put the gameplan together. That’s leadership. Think about what that kind of team focused mentality does for your culture.

That part

This is a masterclass in deceptive statistics, using one of the most common deceptive techniques: relative change across unequal groups.

Note the legend on the top left, and that teenage girls in 2020 (post 'sudden change') still have the *lowest rate* of all groups...

At 14.2 million viewers, last night's Iowa-UConn game averaged more viewers than:

• Any women's CBB game ever
• Every 2023 NBA Finals game
• Every 2023 World Series game
• The 2023 Orange Bowl
• The 2023 Big Ten Championship
• The 2023 Cotton Bowl
• The 2023 Pac-12…
